I am trying to make a fluid transfer tool using a plastic Y connector and some lengths of hose. My hose is 8mm ID. I see connectors listed with 7.2mm or 8.8mm ID.
My fear is that going from 8mm to 8.8mm tube, even for a couple inches, might create a frothy chamber that oxidizes or agitates the beer. My fear with 7.2mm is losing 10% of the diameter (and the speed of transfer) for no good reason when I could have bought a bigger one and avoided a "bottleneck".
I wonder, would it hurt to use that 8.8 mm ID connector?
